The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

The taverns and teahouses in the capital have always been lively, which is a good place to listen to news.

An old woman sat in a corner of the tea shed facing the street, silently listening to the chatter of the tea guests.

People who come to this teahouse are often not well-off, and most of them are ordinary people. Such people are even more shy when it comes to gossip.

"Tsk tsk, it's still raining at this time. If this goes on, the crops will die from drought. Don't even think about any harvest."

"No, I don't know how many people will starve to death by then, it's a sad day!"

"Have you heard that the reason for the drought is because of the Crown Princess—"

The old woman's ears moved slightly.

Many people laughed at the man: "Who hasn't heard of this, but she is a high-ranking crown princess, and we can't help it."

"We can't help it, can't the nobles do anything? We can't make everyone suffer because of one woman, right?"

...

The old woman put down two copper plates on the long table, got up and left with no expression.

Rumors have spread to the present, and it is related to the stability of the people's hearts.

Not long ago, the Dongping Uncle Mansion was decorated with brocade flowers, and the fire was cooking oil. It was very proud of the scenery for a while, and I don't know how many people envied it. Now that the Crown Princess is in trouble, and her eldest grandson's career has been accidentally ruined, Mrs. Feng fell ill after listening to some sarcastic remarks.

Jiang Si used this reason to ask the Empress to return to Dongpingbo Mansion to visit her grandmother.

The queen sighed softly: "Visiting your grandmother is due filial piety, but you are on the cusp of the storm right now, so you must be careful when you leave the palace."

"Don't worry, my daughter-in-law understands."

"then you go."

Jiang seemed to retreat outwards.

The queen moved the corners of her mouth and shouted again, "Prince Concubine."

Jiang Si slightly bent her knees, her face calm: "What else is there to order from the mother?"

The queen smiled: "I don't have any orders, I just tell you not to be too stressed. Your father and emperor will not be shaken by some rumors, and the difficulties will always pass."

In this deep pool-like palace, who has never encountered difficulties, she believes that this storm will not defeat the crown princess.

Jiang Si's heart was slightly warm: "Thank you mother for your relief."

After going out of the palace to see Mrs. Feng, Jiang Si met with the old woman under proper arrangements.

The old woman looked at Jiang Si carefully, and sighed: "I have long guessed that you may be the real saint of my Wumiao, but I just can't figure out why the saint came from Dazhou. Now that I know that you have the blood of Wumiao, everything suddenly becomes clear. , Wu Miao finally has a saint."

In the end, it was hard to hide the emotion.

Although Jiang Xi had promised Wu Miao that she would appear as a saint when she needed it, it was an exchange of interests and cooperation after all, which was completely different from now.

Jiang seems to have the blood of Wumiao, which proves that Wumiao is not destroyed by the sky, and the inheritance of the saint is not broken.

It can be said that the first elder was really relieved.

"I didn't expect the Great Elder to come over in person."

"Of course I will come over for such an important matter, but I just need to arrange the affairs of the clan properly and delay a little time."

Jiang Si held a cup of clear tea and asked calmly, "Have you heard about the discussion of the people in the capital?"

The elder's complexion changed slightly,

Nod slowly.

"The queen mother wants to kill me. I don't know how the elders plan to take this piece back?"

The Great Elder's eyes were deep, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "The saint is sure this is from her handwriting?"

Jiang Si sneered: "The matter has come to this point, does the Great Elder still have extravagant hopes?"

The first elder was laughed so hard that he couldn't get off the stage. He rubbed the jasper ring on his thumb, his expression gradually condensed, and he said word by word: "The chess piece hurts the Holy Maiden, of course it will be destroyed."

Jiang Si pondered for a moment, and asked the doubts in his heart: "This chess piece is so important and the time is so long, doesn't the first elder have any means of control over her?"

"She has sworn to the true god. The saint has never lived in Wumiao, so I'm afraid she doesn't understand what swearing to the true god means to the Wumiao people."

Jiang seemed not to answer.

She lived in Wumiao for several years in her previous life, and she somewhat understands the piety of Wumiao people to the true God, and the bondage of belief is strong.

For example, if a foreigner insults the saint, he can be beaten to death by angry Wumiao people, but if a foreigner scolds the Prince of Dazhou, most of the people in Dazhou will pretend not to hear.

In Wumiao, the saintess and the elders are the symbols of the gods, not to mention the admiration for the true gods.

The first elder sighed: "I didn't expect that after only a few decades, she would leave the true god behind."

Jiang Si suddenly felt that the elder was a little naive.

This kind of innocence is probably related to the way of cultivating the Wumiao saintess.

Talented girls have been selected to practice hard since childhood, and the one who stood out became a saint. From then on, everyone respected her, and when she became a great elder, she became the master of the fate of a family.

There will be intrigue, but it is still much worse than the high-ranking people like the Great Zhou Royal Family who have made a bloody path.

"Decades of splendid paste, not to mention that there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Dazhou." Jiang Si said softly.

The Great Elder's expression changed slightly, and he sighed: "Besides that, he also had Gu in her body, but I heard Elder Hua say that the Gu worms in her body have been removed..."

Jiang Xi's eyes flashed slightly.

Could it be that the first elder was talking about the mother-child connection Gu in the queen mother's body? It seems that this Gu worm was removed by her...

But at that time, she could sense that the mother-son linking heart Gu had not been parasitized into the Queen Mother's body for a long time, definitely not for decades.

"So, there's no other way?" Jiang Shi kicked the ball back.

Whoever causes trouble, whoever contributes, is only right.

But Jiang Sixin knew that it wasn't so easy, after all, Wu Miao couldn't trap herself.

"There is a way."

"All ears."

After listening to the first elder, Jiang Si hesitated for a while: "In this way, the elder Hua is afraid—"

The first elder said with a blank expression: "It is the honor of Elder Hua to solve the trouble for the saint. Elder Hua will surely die without regret."

Jiang Si's mouth twitched.

She could understand the spirit of the Wumiao people who gave everything for the Holy Maiden, but after all, she was not a native Wumiao people, so she couldn't ignore the life and death of others in order to solve the trouble.

"Other than that, there is no better way." Seeing Jiang's hesitation, the first elder calmly reminded him.

She was a little puzzled that Jiang Si would hesitate for Elder Hua, but her heart was inexplicably much more at ease.

A saint who can take care of the lives of Wumiao people should be reliable.

Jiang Si finally nodded: "That's it, I will try to save Elder Hua's life. If Elder Hua has an emergency, I will take good care of her granddaughter."

Outside the screen, Elder Hua, who heard this, burst into tears.

To die for the saint, die without regrets, and it is even more worrying to hear the saint say this.

"I think the current situation is very unfavorable for the Holy Maiden, and this matter needs to be done as soon as possible."

Jiang Xi smiled disapprovingly: "No hurry, it's not the time yet, I will solve the current trouble."
